Why Choose Cloud Accounting?
Cloud-based accounting delivers advantages desktop software can’t match:
From Sage to QuickBooks, I’ve worked with most of them and cloud solutions consistently deliver superior value and flexibility.
Accountants and Bookkeepers
Every business needs an Accountant and somewhere on your business journey, you need to choose an accountant or extra accountants, as your business grow.
Most people confuse Accountants with Bookkeepers.
A Bookkeeper normally captures the day-to-day transactions, whereas an accountant can also capture the day-to-day transactions, plus do journals, draft Financial Statements and provide many other professional services.
Accountants must be active members of an Accounting Institute. There are institutes for Bookkeepers, but there are many Bookkeepers that don’t register with them.
An Accountant normally employ many Bookkeepers and other Accountants.
Accountants can assist you with the following:
Accountants are pretty much “all-rounders”.
Benefits and Purpose of Accountants and Bookkeepers for your business.
The purpose of Accountants, Bookkeepers and Accounting software are to assist you in measuring the performance of your business. It is also a legal requirement to keep accounting records of your business. So, to employ an accountant, even on a contractor basis, the accountant helps you to satisfy a legal requirement. Other benefits of contracting accountants are that we also provide many value-adding services, to streamline and to improve your business.
Many business owners don’t realize that they can employ accountants from other countries on a contract basis. Most countries refer to an independent contractor, which means that the accountant does contracting work for more than one business at a time. So, businesses in the USA or UK can for example employ independent contractor accountants staying in Africa or any country of their choosing.
Difference between USA (GAAP) and IFRS
It is true that the USA accounting principles (GAAP) are rule based and that (IFRS) are principle based.
GAAP and IFRS principles are applicable when drafting or preparing the (AFS) Annual Financial Statements of Incorporated/Registered Businesses. In the USA, it is not compulsory for non-publicly trading companies to use GAAP when preparing annual financial statements, but it is preferable.
To repeat: it is possible for businesses to use international accountants and because of exchange rates, it will cost you a lot less, than employing a local accountant. Please remember that certain accounting duties like signing off financial statements and performing tax services are country specific. Your local country accountant is the only accountant that can perform specific country accounting duties. Internationally registered accountants can perform any other accounting duties. At the very least you can use your Internationally Independent Contracted Accountant, to do your books up to Trial Balance. Your overseas accountant can even draft your monthly management accounts.
The next step after choosing an accountant, is to choose accounting and payroll software, which will be used from anywhere in the world by your international accountant. This obviously means that the accounting and payroll software needs to be cloud based.
Cloud-based Accounting Software
Many software companies worldwide have moved to the cloud and there are many reasons for doing so. Point being that cloud-based software is the future, and it is better to adapt sooner than later.
We’ve used many accounting programs, from Sage and QuickBooks to MYOB, and have discovered that cloud-based accounting offers far more convenience, insights, and benefits than desktop versions ever could.
